+# seckey2sshagent: this is a hack of a script to cope with the fact
+# that openpgp2ssh currently cannot support encrypted secret keys.
+
+# the basic operating principal is: 
+
+# export the secret key in encrypted format to a new keyring
+
+# remove the passphrase in that keyring
+
+# use that keyring with openpgp2ssh
+
